In effect gave the rumours and innuendos the time of day . Maybe she could make light if it , by stating she isn’t but if she was she would be comfortable to come out ?

I recall being asked by a school friend “ do you like to smoke the beef ?” I hadn’t a clue what it meant so my wee mind went into overdrive and I thought that “ Yes “ was probably the correct answer ! I got the piss ripped out me after this ! 😂. Yes it was an excellent film and John Hurt .

Unknown user Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I was listening to the folk that did the study on life expectancy that was on here, interesting stuff. What they found was that up until 2012 life expectancy was steadily increasing in Western countries. After that it slowed and then started to fall. Why? Austerity. It's happened in all the Western countries that went down the austerity route, and of course has affected poor areas more than anyone else. It's particularly bad in poor areas here because of how hard the government's ridden the poor. They did make clear though that the SNP had to carry some of the blame - but only for not mitigating the damage Westminster was doing.

Her sex and sexuality have nothing to do with it, for me at least. I do get the impression that some people use her being a woman to deflect the genuine criticism of her. I'm sure there will be those that use the fact she's a woman to do just that. That's not right either. Her professional ability is up for debate. her sexuality or sex life isn't for me. 8 minutes ago, jonesy said: It's like the folk that constantly trot out the over-used and not-funny-anymore 'living rent free in yer head' shite. We have threads on which to discuss politics and politicians. Of which this is one. If folks want to speculate on her sexual preferences they should maybe start a thread on it? She does live rent free in many though and she's utterly ruined a good few of them too. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamstomorrow Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 It is nothing to do with our FM's sexuality. If our FM has been assaulted, or indeed has assaulted someone, surely, as she is the First Minister of the Scottish Parliament, and therefore a public servant, paid from the public purse, it is in the public interest to know? Derek McKay did not receive any anonymity regarding the shenanigans that he was allegedly involved in. As FM, does she not have police protection accompanying her? We don't want any harm coming to her, on or off duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i wish jj was my dad Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Nobody knows anything about her sexuality, choice of partners or alleged assault. But she's dishonest and has a super injunction in place to suppress the public right to know. Ffs have a go at her views, policies and leadership because there is plenty to have a go at but this stuff is desperate. One thing she has done is advance the equalities agenda beyond any leader I can think of. For good or ill that in itself should be a topic for considerable debate.
